Chef's notes

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

To maximize crispiness, arrange the chicken and fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.

Tip 2 of 2

Using a high-quality yellow mustard ensures that punchy 'fast food' flavor profile without the extra sugar found in bottled honey mustards.
